Technical Gearbox Oil, quick Question

[Silentbob]

Sorry to drop this on you as an emergency, just finished changing the clutch in the Sporting, and (thankfully) remembered that I had dropped the oil out of the box. Need to go get oil tomorrow, need to know oil capacity on a Cinq Sporting (No haynes manual, naughty me)

1.6 litres, not 2.6 like the handbook says. Try something like Castrol Driveline/Syntrax, seems to work better from cold than what Fiat had put in mine.

If it's a Sporting, you need to drain it out of the plug under the back of the box near the rear gearbox mount. FWIR, the plug is in the diff housing.

Then when it's drained for a good while, replace the plug, and fill up through the filler/level plug on the front of the gearbox. It's a bit fiddly, due to the proximity of the clutch cable.

I was gonna pop the breather cap off and use that; recalling the last time I replace the oil on my Grale, that took bloody ages :/

Cheers for the info fixitagaintomorrow off to the shop I go
